Christa Cain after claiming her second Island Games gold of the week in the women's 5,000m

Transcript

00:00Krista another night another gold medal but I think it's fair to say you had to

00:03work a bit harder for that one. Definitely had to work harder than I

00:06anticipated for that one it wasn't the plan tonight Anna clearly is on very

00:11good form and I could hear the gap closing down every time I went down that

00:14bottom corner the home crowd was going wild and I knew it wasn't for me on this

00:18occasion so yeah yeah I went a lot faster than I wanted to I wrote my splits

00:22in my hands everyone's taking pictures of it yeah that wasn't the plan but hey

00:26here we are. I think as Petra said before this is your first 5k on the track

00:30though isn't it? Exactly yeah it's my first 10,000 probably my first and last on

00:34Sunday but yeah the five is probably a little bit more enjoyable yeah less laps

00:39yeah. Will this effort affect you ahead of Friday or are you still confident it was

00:45just another warm-up run? Yeah I mean I train really high volume at home anyway I

00:50probably average in a marathon block about 100 mile a week so within that yeah it's

00:54a lot within that I do like two speed sessions a week and probably one heavy

00:58marathon session on a Sunday so the legs are quite well adapted to the faster

01:02running and just not running in loops so yeah I was just saying to Rob the right

01:07hand side of my body is was definitely feeling it after Sunday and I'm just

01:11gonna do like a little shakeout and just get everything flowing again this

01:14evening. Maybe you could have asked if you could have run the other way around

01:17today just believe it. Yeah that would be a good idea yeah yeah I think they do that

01:21in them some of like the 50k the 100k's they turn people every so many laps so

01:25yeah maybe I could have put a request in. Congratulations again and good luck for Friday.

01:29Thank you very much.
